It had been 542 days since I was at Busch Stadium for a ballgame.
The last time was Game 2 of the 2019 National League Championship Series.
Two days later, while I was in D.C. for Game 3, my wife and I found out we were having our first baby.
On Thursday, I returned to Busch for the 2021 home opener. And so, between a pair of nine-inning games, there was about nine months of pregnancy … and now we have a nine-month-old daughter.
It is overwhelming to process how much has changed since the last time I was at Busch.
